Corbyn Sultana Clash Causes Rift in New Left-Wing 'Your Party' Leadership

Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, co-founders of a new left-wing party tentatively called 'Your Party,' are embroiled in a public dispute over the launch of the party's membership platform. Sultana accused Corbyn and the other founding MPs of running a "sexist boys' club" that excluded women from key decision-making roles and blocked a gender-balanced committee. She launched a membership portal inviting supporters to join and contribute financially, claiming over 20,000 sign-ups and raised funds, describing the platform as safe and legitimate. However, Corbyn denounced the membership email as "unauthorised," warning supporters to ignore it and cancel any direct debits, stating that legal advice was being sought. The conflict highlights a deeper rift in the party's leadership about how to engage grassroots supporters, with Sultana asserting her motivation was to safeguard grassroots involvement amid being sidelined by other party figures. This internal turmoil has cast uncertainty over the fledgling party's cohesion and future direction.
